Ever got an answer for that? I just installed Unraid (New install) and before starting adding files and Docker I want to make sure my Config is optimal. I have NVME pool for Docker and SSD pool for normal cache.

Morning folks, Newbie to Unraid moving from QNAP... I have my Server setup (no data transferred yet, just waiting and making sur my configuration is right). I am running 2 cache pool: 2x 1TB NVME & 2x 1TB SSD My intent is to use the NVME for Docker and VM and the SSDs for regular cache (file transfer). My question: Did I read somewhere (or maybe I watched a tutorial video) mention of moving the path for docker as follow: /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img -> /mnt/cache/system/docker/docker.img /mnt/user/appdata/ -> /mnt/cache/appdata/ Just want to make sure my config is optimal before I start using the Server. I am planning in moving my Plex in a Docker and trying to avoid messing around after because I messed up something... Thanks in advance!! Dom

Thanks for the tip. I will definitively research this thread before installing my Plex docker. Better doing it right the first time …

Awesome!! Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated. I will switch from QNAP to Unraid within the next few weeks... Just a few more parts to buy 😊

So you configure Unraid to install Docker directly on the cache drive which are shared with the cache function? Probably backup these dockers to your Array as well? I read that Plex run smoother with the metadata on the cache drive.. basically the entire Plex install will be on the cache except the media right? Just making sure I get it lol! Sorry for the annoying questions! 🤔

Thanks for the reply DoeBoye. I thought I read somewhere on the forum that NVME cache had to copy to SSD then Array... that isn't true right? NVME cache then straight to Array correct?

Hi everybody, I will be building my first Unraid Server shortly. I found most of my answers in regards to storage and parity but I have a question in regards to the cache. I will be using an Asus Prime Z390-P motherboard which gives me the following onboard storage options: Storage Intel CPU support with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RAID 0 & RAID 1) - PCIEX16_1 slot supports up to 3 Intel® PCIe NVME SSDs via a Hyper M.2 X16 series Card* Intel Z390 Chipset with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and Intel Rapid Storage Technology support - 1 x M.2 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)** - 1 x M.2 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X2 PCIE mode) - 4 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports (gray) - Intel Optane Memory Ready * Hyper M.2 X16 series card sold separately. Install a Hyper M.2 X16 series card and enable this card under BIOS settings. ** When a device in SATA mode is listed on the M.2_1 socket, SATA_2 port cannot be used. What would be the best option for my cache (SSD, NVME or SATA) knowing that I will be using Unraid for Storage, Plex and maybe a few docker... and size as I was thinking between 500Gb to 1TB? * I will have a 10TB Parity drive with 34TB of storage to start. Thanks in advance.
